A GROCER'S COURTSHIP.
Tlie grocer loved a charming girl. As lovely as the day; He wondered if she’d marry him, And say "Let SOAP she may.’’ Then straightway to her house he went, Her lovely face to see. Exclaiming, "Ah, I know full well That CHEESE the girl for me." The girl was very kind and said That she was very glad To see him there, and then remarked What a bad COFFEE had. % She grew to know’ him—yes, quite well; She let him kiss her brow; But when he spoke of marriage, said. "Oh, do not TEAS me now’." —"Australian Grocer."
